CC please before I order canvases

Hola...I had some wonderful ladies help me with a head swap..thank you all of you! Now I need some cc on this before I order canvases for grandparents for Christmas. This is the only picture I have of both of them looking at the camera- I think it came out really cute :o) Anyways, I'm not thrilled with my edit. Its just a clean edit, with a soft light layer added at about 15% opactiy to pop it a little bit more. I want it to look a little bit creamier though I think. Do you agree? What does it need? Is there an action I can run over it to give it the creamy look? It seems a little harsh to me. All cc is appreciated...thanks!

maybe something like this...I have NO IDEA how to download, install, or use actions though. I think this might look nice on this photo though at a low opacity. Especially for a canvas wrap. What do you think?

With my lab you lose 2 inches all the way around when they wrap it so I'd increase the canvas size to compensate and auto-fill the blank space so the front of your canvas is exactly what you see in this photo.

And also I disagree completely about the creamy look, I think it's perfect as-is especially if it's for their grandparents. My grandma hates artsy edits... I used a texture once and holy cow did she raise hell.

Sarah- thanks for the compliment. I think you might be right- grandparents are traditional I don't really even like artsy edits either, thats why I was thinking of doing it at a low opacity, literally like 10-15%. Maybe I'll just do that for myself.

I'm using CGproprints, I don't know that they have an auto-fill option. I know that Canvas on Demand does, but they are way more expensive. I can get a large canvas for under $30 through CGproPrints. Kind of awesome. Lauren on here uses them and highly reccomends them. Is there a way to add more to the edges in PSE?
